Introducing the 2020 Child Enrichment Summit

You’ve witnessed your little one rehearse for days for his upcoming recital. They know their piece, the stage directions, and have practiced the end-of-show bow by heart. But just when you think they’re about to pull off their most monumental performance yet, they run back to you, hands cold and trembling, too frightened to perform

We believe, a big thing, is connecting with our students and letting them know that their mentor, their music teacher, and friend, someone who cares for them, is still here with them, will still be meeting with them weekly.

It does not matter if you love jazz, hip hop, or heavy metal. Several studies claim that playing or listening to music can help boost your mental and emotional health. For thousands of years, we used it as a form of communication and entertainment. It allows us to express thoughts, feelings, and behaviours…

Every holiday season, families gather to hear their children and grandchildren perform holiday classics. For some musicians, this is their first year playing their instrument. For others, they’ve been honing their craft for years and the holidays are a time to display it…

So you’ve finally decided (or perhaps planning) to sign up for your first voice lesson. Whatever the case, you want to level your expectations and come prepared for it. There’s nothing to feel anxious about: your vocal coach won’t hurt you! In fact, they will do everything to make your first singing learning experience a positive one…

Learning a new skill can be a fun and fulfilling experience. Music is an especially great example; whether you’re thinking of takingsinging lessons or learning a new instrument (the guitar is a popular choice for many beginners), music can be an excellent hobby. However, as the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day;” you have to start somewhere when learning to play the guitar. When you come in for your first guitar lesson, there are a few things to keep in mind.

For a child, the benefits of a musical education are wide-ranging and long-lasting; and as a parent, there’s no greater pleasure than watching a child excel at something they enjoy.

Perhaps you wish to foster your child’s interest in a particular instrument, or simply to encourage their love of music. Either way, the right teacher can make all the difference to your child. A music teacher doesn’t just guide your child’s education; they also serve as a mentor, motivator, and cheerleader! As a parent, you will continue to be your child’s primary emotional support system.

Did you know that music offers a wide range of benefits in sculpting a person’s cognitive abilities? Music is to the brain what weightlifting is to the muscles. Music training — like playing an instrument or taking voice lessons — are closely associated with brain development. Exposing a person to music during their early formative years has a lasting positive impact throughout their life.

Among adults, the benefits of exercise are well documented and widely acknowledged. Muscle tone, fat percentages, and energy levels are all affected by our activity levels. In children, the need for exercise is even more pressing. This is partly because childhood fitness levels can have a lasting effect on adult health. To appreciate how movement makes happier kids, it’s also vital to understand the effect exercise has on a child’s psychological and emotional wellbeing. You’re never too young to learn how to dance your troubles away!
